What is Status of Pre-2014 Islamic Marriages in Kenya about?

1) An Islamic marriage contracted before 2014 in Kenya would still be valid under the new Marriage Act of 2014. 2) For an Islamic marriage to be valid, the parties must consent and declare their intention to marry before witnesses, though payment of mahr (dower) and registration are not essential to validity. 3) In this case, the failure to pay mahr or register the marriage would not invalidate it, as the other formalities for an Islamic marriage were met.
